Keep me safe......

Mom took us for our walk like always. When we got infront of the woods between our house and the neighbors Grunt and I smelled something. Our noses were in the air and we started to prance. Mom started talking alot and whistling. That usually means there's an animal nearby... We walked down past the horses, around the cemetary and on the way back mom noticed he neighbors trash can was in the ditch. There was trash everywhere. Seems like there is a bear in the area again. So mom took us to the playground that way she could keep an eye on any critters trying to get into our trash on the road. We went into the house pooped out from running and everthing seemed calm. Then, while I was on my spot on the deck, I heard the branches snap in the woods. I let out a loud bark. Then another bark. Mom came outside and said, what's wrong Darcy. Well I took off like a shot through the house, Grunt following me. We went out to the dog yard and Grunt and I smelled it again! Bear!

We gave it our meanest barks ever. Mom heard the rustling but couldn't see the bear. So we barked a few more times. Then mom heard the trash truck - finally! Once the trash truck came through the bear was gone. I stayed outside to make sure I didn't smell the bear anymore. Mom said I'm on High Alert!

you sure is a brave pup darcy!!! you & grunt just be careful & don't get too close to dat bear if you ever smell him again!!! be safe pal!! but you did a great job & i bet your mommie was so proud of her brave pup!!!
